TRENTON — A Bergen County vacation travel club and its owner allegedly defrauded dozens of consumers by failing to provide promised promotional cruises, airfares and discounts, the state Attorney General's Office said today.

Global Travel Solutions LLC and its owner, Jason Krieck, allegedly offered the promotions as incentive to buy vacation travel membership packages for $995 to $8,500, as well as a $29.95 monthly fee, the office said in a news release.

The company maintained addresses in Montvale and Haddonfield, and staged sales presentations at its Montvale location and the Somerset Holiday Inn, the release said. A representative of could not immediately be reached for comment.

“We allege the defendants’ deceptive business practices began with postcards the company mailed offering complimentary cruises and roundtrip airfare, and continued right through their sales presentations,” Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said in a statement. “Rather than getting away on a vacation, these consumers ended up stuck at home, dealing with the loss of their hard-earned money.”

The five-count civil complaint, filed last week in Superior Court in Bergen County, requests the court issue temporary restraining orders barring the advertisement and sale of memberships, freezing the company's assets and shutting down the company's website, the release said.

The division has received 54 complaints about the company, the release said. Those who requested refunds either never received cancellation paperwork or found the company's office to be closed, the release said.

The lawsuit alleges numerous violations of the state Consumer Fraud Act. The suit will seek civil penalties as well as restitution for customers who paid for memberships, the release said.
